Default Why are thread mills so expensive anyway?


Physically they are a comparable size and material quantity as a similar
tap or similarly sized end mill, only the geometry of them is really
different. Since all these tools are presumably produced on the same
multi axis CNC grinders, why the cost difference? Is it just because
they are newer technology?
